Gloria was a wonderful and giving mother, sister, wife, and friend to many. She became known as Saint Gloria because of her sweet nature. Gloria, who graduated from Destrehan High School and retired from TACA Airlines after 25+ years of service, was a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church and sang in the choir for more than 40 years. She was a member of the Catholic Daughters, St. Joseph Altar Society at O.L.P.H. and Colonial Club Bowling League for many years. An avid basketball player and dancer even as she got older, Gloria enjoyed attending all her grandchildren’s sporting and school events. Nothing made her happier than cooking lenticchie for those grandchildren. Gloria also loved to spend every Monday playing Scrabble with her sisters and going to the Donegan Bean Night. She looked forward to the Lovetro Sisters’ Family Christmas Party, where she brought her famous Italian cookies and led everyone in singing carols with Santa. Gloria will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
